Highway 12: the runway
Are You A Startup Founder? Welcome To the Club. Raise All The Capital You Ever Need- Free. (This service will be coming soon. World Customer Hub will be changing its business entity type to make this service to our members and corporate members possible)
As more people from around the world become pro-active members of World Customer Hub, the hub will start raising funds for startups. We will raise funds from seed money to series F all at once- for each startup.
Let us take a look at your startup; at what stage would you consider it weaned of venture capital funds and able to borrow and repay loans?
Is it when it grows and expands to xx number of countries? Is it when the business rakes in a gross profit of xx or xxx millions of dollars?
How much capital would it take to reach that stage of growth?
If you can estimate that, then you have a figure on how much you need to raise.
A startup or business opportunity with a capital requirement of less than 50 billion US dollar will be considered as medium or small and will be signed up in one club together with a number of similar startups.
Potentially large and mega startups will have clubs of their own.
The Clubs will be the properties of World Customer Hub because:
a) World Customer Hub will use its system and network to issue the Startups’ shares to its members throughout the world.
b) World Customer Hub wants to safeguard members’ investments in different countries since the startups will be located in different countries. World Customer Hub will open branches in as many countries as possible.
c) To enable streamlining and simplification of the fundraising process:
A local business would find it complicated if not outright impossible to compute and remit commissions for hundreds of customers and thousands of transactions and remit it to hundreds of C-clubs.
The hub will get its fee from the fundraising – without deducting any money from the capital target of the particular startup.
To raise funds for your startup, you will need to fill a ‘startup fundraiser form’; stating;
a) What your startup aims to achieve.
b) Projected growth potential.
c) Required capital (from seed money to series F fund, or from seed money to the level vertical/horizontal growth you estimate would be enough to wean the startup of venture investor funding if the startup was to run venture capital.
d) What benefits you will provide to your customer shareholders if they invested in your startup.
Customers will mostly invest in potentially lucrative and strong startups. They will consider the startups they are investing in, before they allow their funds to be committed to a club.
Consider carefully what benefits your startup will give to shareholders through your club. A club that is packed with financial and indirect- financial benefits will be a favorite of shareholders.
Once your startup idea is accepted, World Customer Hub will put it ‘on stream’,
We will put it out as an investment opportunity to our ever growing global customer investor base- with the benefits you offer as main investment attraction.
If the benefits you offer are super-attractive, the shares on offer will be taken up quickly, irrespective how many they are. Remember, shares are not sold, they are be given out freely.
So if your start up needs 800 million US dollars, 5 billion US dollars, 50 billion or any other amount, come up with commensurate and long-lasting benefits for your customer shareholders/investors.
Your funds will start pouring into your startup account in no time.
Great news; your stake in your startup will not be diluted. Your club will be the only investor. If you take 51% of your startup, your club will take 49% - and it will remain that way.
